Project Overview

The Radstone Hotel, nestled in the heart of the British countryside near Glasgow, sought to elevate the aesthetic appeal of two key areas on its property:

  1. The Front Entrance - a minimalist, flat-faced building that needed a welcoming touch.
  2. The Outdoor Wedding Pergola Area - an enchanting outdoor space framed by low brick walls that required a facelift to blend more seamlessly with the surrounding countryside.

The goal was to create a captivating, nature-inspired look that would reflect the charm of the hotel's rural setting while being low-maintenance and durable throughout the year.

Challenge

The hotel's front entrance, while functional, lacked a memorable visual appeal. The façade was flat and minimalist, missing the warmth and allure necessary to greet guests in a manner that matched the hotel's high standards. Meanwhile, the outdoor garden area, particularly the space surrounding the wedding pergola, featured tired red brick walls that clashed with the soft greenery of the surrounding gardens. This area needed to be refreshed to create a cohesive, picturesque backdrop for weddings and outdoor events.

Solution

To transform these two spaces, Awe & Bloom proposed an innovative use of artificial hedge tiles, specifically tailored to meet the unique demands of each location.

  1. Front Entrance Transformation:
    Awe & Bloom recommended the use of Mixed Foliage Hedge Tiles. This option featured a combination of rich greenery interspersed with delicate yellow and white faux flowers, creating a lush, layered effect. These hedge tiles not only added volume and texture to the flat surface but also introduced a sense of natural beauty, making the entrance more inviting for guests.
  2. Wedding Pergola & Outdoor Garden Enhancement:
    To align the pergola area with the natural British countryside, Awe & Bloom selected the Amazon Hedge Tiles for the low-level brick walls surrounding the pergola. This tile replicates classic UK foliage such as ivy, boxwood, and conifers, seamlessly integrating with the existing garden landscape. The Amazon tiles softened the harsh edges of the red brick, transforming the space into a fresh, green haven ideal for weddings and outdoor celebrations.

Impact

The installation of 750 artificial hedge tiles across the two areas completely rejuvenated the hotel's aesthetic:

  1. Welcoming Front Entrance: The once minimal façade was brought to life with full, verdant foliage that enhanced the hotel's street appeal, leaving a lasting first impression on guests.
  2. Picturesque Wedding Space: The outdoor wedding pergola area was transformed into a soft, romantic setting, with the artificial Amazon hedge tiles covering the old brick walls. The greenery matched the surrounding gardens perfectly, creating a tranquil backdrop for ceremonies and photos.

Beyond aesthetics, the hotel benefited from the low-maintenance nature of the artificial hedges. Unlike live plants, these tiles require no watering, pruning, or replanting, ensuring the hotel could maintain its refreshed look all year round without added upkeep costs.

Conclusion

Awe & Bloom's artificial hedge tiles delivered a striking, transformative effect at the Radstone Hotel, enhancing both the front entrance and the outdoor wedding space. By blending beautiful, nature-inspired design with the practical benefits of artificial greenery, Awe & Bloom successfully elevated the hotel's appearance and guest experience, aligning with the hotel's vision of creating memorable, inviting spaces.
